Hello,
I would like to ask some Windows user to test if windows minimals still work OK.
And another issue - TeX Live has switched to universal binaries for
Mac. Oliver has asked me to do that some time ago, but I didn't want
to mess up with having to (cross-)compile the basic binaries as well.
What do others think?
(I kind of prefer separate binaries since they are twice smaller and
don't really bring many advantages except that one would only need a
single package once Oliver's instller comes to existance.)
The transition would need some modifications, I'm first asking for opinion.
Mojca

the dll is now ok, but we have the cache_is_readable problem for which
we need the fix

just tried the current version (only left out texmf-context).
- kpathsea357.dll is missing ('texexec --make --pdftex' complains about
it; luatex also doesn't work without; is 35771 already used by any program?)
- still get problems if i call luatools|mtxrun. creating a format is not
possible. some examples:

But both
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/common/mswin/bin/
and
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/mswin/bin/
have that file. Where else did I forgot it (no doubts I did)?

XeTeX. And I just figured out that I forgot to remove the old one
( kpathsea35671).

maybe binaries should have an accompanying 'liblist.txt' file so that
it's easier to check

It's just that I never delete the old content when extracting zips
from Akira (when I should). Or that he renames the zips.
But it's my fault in either case. His zips are just fine.
I asked on CTAN for mirroring them, and even CTAN-ers complain :)

I've just installed ConTexT minimals on a new pc with vista 64 and got
the 'cache file not writable' messages.
Will Mojca give us a hint when we can reload/reinstall minimals from
contextgarden? Or will it be enough to run the 'first-setup' batch file
again?
Best,
Ulrich

You don't need to reinstall anything. Running first-setup should be
enough, but I will go to mountains till Sunday, and it takes about two
or three days before changes in LuaTeX trunk propagate to W32TeX
binaries anyway (updating W32TeX binaries is only semi-automatic since
files often change names).
(To be honest, I just run a script to update binaries from Akira from
time to time, but I cannot test if it breaks anything, and I don't
really keep track of what version is used - I just take whatever is
there.)

Hmmm, wait. I just got an email from Akira. Can you please give it one
more try and report if it works ok?
Thanks,

the minimals use the latest non beta release of context from 21.05.2008.
i think all you need is to copy the files luatools.lua and mtxrun.lua
from that version (in the texmf-context/scripts/context/lua directory)
to the texmf-mswin/bin directory. just overwrite the newer version and
all should work.
@Mojca: maybe it's a good idea to remove both files from 'mswin.zip'.
or make sure somehow that they are in sync with the versions in
'justtex.zip'. just my 2eurocents.

The minimals use whatever version you ask them to fetch for you. In
first-setup.sh I have
--context=beta
and I sometimes add
--context=experimental
The problem is that I have put beta versions of those files into
context bin, and if one uses some other version, it fails to work.

Oh, right, the "pragma" dir, sorry. After Hans comes from Cork, I'll
ask him to fix a few things, and those two files will then be fetched
separately. I also have problems with those two files.
But my question - should "pragma"-like zips contain context beta or current?
Apart from that - is luatex (& cache paths) working now?

Not some hours ago. One hour ago.

sorry for the delay but my new pc is at another location (with no

The error messages about writing faults to cache dirs disappeared, and
everything seems to work perfectly well here ;-)

I would really favour universal binaries if we're able to build them
on a regular basis. It's simply more in line with today's Mac OS
spirit, and it would make little sense to ship a Mac installer with
Intel-only binaries. The only reason why I didn't already provide
universal binaries was because the build process was really ill-adapted
(mostly libtool problems, as I've experienced); but if Richard and
Jonathan managed to build them, we should be able to do it as well.
